i just saw this over at avsforums and believe or not, this is not a joke!!!

how can something like this happen again after universal screwed up back to the future 2 and 3? this should've been a leason to all studios to double check the media if everything is the way it should be.

well done disney, well done

disney is better be putting out a replacement soon and i want my copies free of charge asap, no matter if i life in germany or not.

thanks to denner for pointing this out to us

wow, thanks for the heads up, I was just about to buy this last Friday... crazy! Glad I waited. Let's hope it gets fixed soon.

I'm sure that Disney will fix it like Universal did with BTTF a few years ago.

I don't get it... it's been out for this long and noone's noticed the problem until now? It looks like it's hard to miss. Are people actually watching the films they purchase in HD, or are they more concerned with the picture quality to notice these things?

Oh my, this is terrible!

I'm careful with my BD purchase and with all the Pirates movies, I said the first one is the one that warrants a repurchase and got the BD. I have not seen it yet.

Someone fell asleep at the HD mastering wheel.

I bet they are watching the films because the enjoy a good film, not so they can do a frame by frame analysis to see if there is something wrong.

Speaking for myself, Marc, I have watched it several times and did not notice. Much to the chagrin of my wife, I have been known to miss certain key plot points because I do tend to focus on image and sound quality, but something like this just would not jump out at me.

Of course, now that I am aware of the problem, it will likely be a fork in the eye the next time we watch it. :-(

Well, it's probably different than the DVD version, however nearly impossible to spot if you're not referencing it to anything else.

Just a possibility I guess.

People's heads are out of the frame! No need to reference it to anything else!
